Are you in need of some money? Do you need some quick cash? If extra funds are needed, think about payday loans. This is a way to get money fast, so learn more below. You must be able to repay the loan within the time frame set forward in your contract to avoid paying additional fees and penalties. Payday cash advances carry high fees that will compound if you are unable to repay in a timely manner. Interest Rates TIP! There are high fees associated with payday loans. While the money may be great in hand, avoiding dealing with the fees can result in a substantial burden. Sadly, loan firms sometimes skirt the law. They might charge fees that are very high. This can increase interest rates up to 10 times more than the interest rates of conventional loans. When you can’t pay on time, an extension can be asked for. Sometimes, a loan company will offer a 1 or 2 day extension on your deadline. If you get an extension, you may incur more fees. Never accept a loan that is less than completely transparent in its terms regarding interest, fees and due dates. Any company that will not disclose this information up front is possibly a scam and you could end up with hidden fees and charges you had no idea about. TIP! If you have to take out a payday loan, the standard payback time is about two weeks. Things happen that could make repayment possible. Payday Loan If you decide to take out a payday loan, make sure to use a reputable company. Some companies claim they are a legitimate payday loan company; however, they may be lying to you so that they can steal your money. If you are considering any company for a loan, check out their Better Business Bureau entry. If you have financial trouble due to cash advance loans you had in the past, there are agencies that can assist you with that. They often do not charge you anything to help you, and they might be able to get you lower interest rates on your loan. TIP! Payday loans may be an option for those that need money fast. However, it’s important that people understand what they’re getting into before signing on the dotted line. These days, there seems to be a payday loan business on every corner, offering you money. Payday cash advances are small loan in which a credit check is not normally necessary. It is a short-term loan. Though these types of loans can be lifesavers in some ways, they also tend to carry extremely high interest rates for repayment. Despite having to fill out the paperwork and meet the terms of payday lenders before borrowing, you don’t necessarily have to go along with their routine like every other customer. If you feel you are not getting a good payday loan deal, ask to speak with a supervisor. Any business is usually willing to give up a little profit margin in order to just get some profit. Payday Loan TIP! If you’re trying to receive a payday loan, you need to be up front and honest on the application you’re filling out. You might be tempted to shade the truth a bit in order to secure approval for your loan or increase the amount for which you are approved, but financial fraud is a criminal offense, so better safe than sorry. Don’t get stressed out by money any more. If you need a little bit extra to cover expenses, a payday loan may be for you. If your only option is a stiff late fee on a bill that will come due prior to your payday, then look into cash advance loans as a possible solution. Good luck and perhaps your payday loan will help you in managing your finances.

This has very little to do with the Yankees, but it’s a nice event for a wonderful cause, and it’s certainly worth mentioning on this off day. Good work by the Yankees organization to be involved with something like this. Here are the details — as provided by the folks running the event — about this year’s Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium. On the morning of August 18, thousands of baseball fans, runners, walkers, cancer survivors, and their friends and family will gather at Yankee Stadium to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium. One of New York’s most unique summer events, the Runyon 5K is the only charitable run/walk that uses the iconic Stadium as its course. Since the inaugural event in 2009, the 5K has raised more than $2 million for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation’s groundbreaking efforts to strike out cancer. Registration is open at www.damonrunyon.org/yankeestadium. Participants are responsible for a $40 registration fee and a $60 fundraising minimum. After July 1, the registration fee increases to $50. The first heat of competitive runners will take off from the start line inside Gate 4 at 9:30am, followed by later heats of runners and walkers, with the last heat taking off in the early afternoon. Participants will wind through the legendary ballpark’s concourses and ramps, climb stairs between levels, and appear on the centerfield video board as they take two laps around the warning track that circles the field. Friends, family and supporters will have a chance to watch the race from the Delta SKY360° Suite overlooking home plate and meet the Damon Runyon scientists their contributions help support. Last year’s event drew a capacity crowd of 4,000 participants – from 5-78 years old and traveling from 35 states. Click to see videos and photos of the 2012 Runyon 5K. As always, 100% of all donations raised by participants will directly support the nation’s most brilliant young scientists, pursuing cures for all forms of cancer. “Over the past five years, the proceeds from the Runyon 5K have allowed us to fund amazing cancer researchers doing incredible work,” said Lorraine W. Egan, President and CEO of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. “Our 5K participants are making breakthroughs possible – it’s as simple as that.” The Runyon 5K is the latest chapter in the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation’s long history with the Yankees. After the Foundation’s establishment in 1946, Joe DiMaggio was on its Board of Directors and Mickey Mantle was an active fundraiser. Damon Runyon himself was a New York writer who began his career as a baseball journalist, revolutionizing how the game was covered and often reporting on Yankees games. The 2013 Runyon 5K is presented by MetLife Foundation, with additional support from Brick-Run Sports Physical Therapy, NYSID, 24 Hour Fitness, NBC 4 New York, the New York Daily News, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and the New York Yankees. ABOUT THE FOUNDATION To accelerate breakthroughs, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation provides today’s best young scientists with funding to pursue innovative cancer research. The Foundation has gained worldwide prominence in cancer research by identifying outstanding researchers and physician-scientists. Eleven scientists supported by the Foundation have received the Nobel Prize. Since its founding in 1946, Damon Runyon has invested more than $260 million and funded more than 3,380 young scientists.

Via Erik Boland: Mark Teixeira could join Double-A Trenton for an official rehab assignment as soon as next Tuesday. He’s been hitting in the cage and in simulated games down in Tampa, and I assume he’ll squeeze in a few Extended Spring Training at-bats before joining the Thunder. Teixeira, 33, has been out with an injury to the tendon sheath in his right wrist since early March, so his rehab assignment is probably going to last longer than two or three days. He might be there for a week considering he missed a big chunk of Spring Training and needs to iron out two swings. Lyle Overbay has started to cool off recently and if nothing else, getting Teixeira in the lineup will be a huge help against left-handed pitchers.

Okay, so you think you are an expert on the New York Yankees? Well, here we go with the fourth installment of “Name Your Yankee,” presented by Yankee Fan Dan. This is where the real Yankees fans step up to the plate and show their knowledge. (more…)

Six days ago, Curtis Granderson was out of the starting lineup. The next night, it was Ichiro Suzuki. The night after that — before that game was rained out – it was Brett Gardner. Then the Yankees came to Baltimore, and Vernon Wells was on the bench Monday, Ichiro was back on the bench Tuesday, and Gardner wasn’t starting on Wednesday. That’s a lot of shuffling, and it’s to be expected with four guys for three spots, but Joe Girardi said he has yet to talk to his outfielders about his plans for dividing playing time going forward. “No,” Girardi said. “Because I haven’t exactly figured out exactly what it’s going to be everyday, and it could change so quickly.” Girardi did make it clear, however, that he wants to have a regular, everyday outfield eventually. “I think at some point you’ll probably get to where you’re trying to put the same lineup out there every day,” he said. If immediate labels are necessary, the numbers suggest Ichiro should be the one designated as the fourth outfielder. He had a short spurt when he looked awfully good this season, but his overall slash line is even worse than it was in 2011. His speed and defense have value, but that sort of value is fairly common for reserve outfielders. He simply has not shown an everyday bat. But there are few other factors to keep in mind. • Wells has been outstanding this season, but his past certainly suggests a bit of caution, and his age gives Girardi reason to rest him from time to time. It’s also worth noting that Wells has hit for power against both lefties and righties, but his batting average and on-base percentage are significantly worse against right-handers. • Gardner has been his typically streaky self, and it’s well understood that he’s prone to considerable ups and downs. We’ve already seen some of that this season. Gardner has walked a lot, but he’s also struck out a lot. He’s started to run much more often lately, but he’s also played so much this season that it might be worth giving his legs a break now and then. • Until last night, Granderson had not looked particularly good since coming off the disabled list. Perhaps a slow start was understandable, but last night’s double and home run were his first extra-base hits since being activated. Now that he’s generally a corner outfielder who doesn’t run much, most of his value is in his ability to hit for power. Perhaps last night was a sign that the power is back. Clearly the Yankees are going to give Granderson significant at-bats to get himself going. It’s also clear that Wells has played too well to simply fall into a platoon role. It’s also clear that Gardner is outplaying Ichiro at the moment. For the time being, a regular outfield of Wells/Gardner/Granderson makes obvious sense, but there are factors at play beyond the early statistics. “They understand,” Girardi said. “It’s not their first rodeo, and they understand that there’s four guys here that are used to playing a lot. But I’ll try to sit down (with them) as you get a little bit better handle on how things are going. That’s always subject to change, how we’re going to do it.” Associated Press photo The post Yankees still determining their four-man outfield rotation appeared first on The LoHud Yankees Blog.

The Yankees are enjoying a much-needed off-day today, their first true off-day in over two weeks. They open a three-game series with the Rays on Friday, a team that really isn’t a good matchup for them on paper. Then again, it’s a three-game series and anything can happen. That’s the best part of baseball. Here is tonight’s open thread. MLB Network is airing a game tonight, though who you see depends on where you live. There’s also some NHL playoff action, including the NY Rangers trying to stave off elimination. Talk about any of those games and more here. Have at it.

In case you haven't read Jason's article like bad boys & girls, the Mariners demoted former Yankees prospect Jesus Montero down to Triple-A Tacoma. He was not demoted to work on his catching or his ability to pitch. That leaves his hitting which, back in the old Pinstripe Alley days, was heralded. Montero has not been the offensive power the Mariners have been looking for. Neither has Justin Smoak. Neither have most Mariners really. Here in the jolly ol' land of Pinstripes, the (before injured) combo of Defensive Warlock Chris Stewart and Francisco Cervelli was quite serviceable. Lyle Overbay, our 4-day trial answer to Juan Rivera, is also hitting decently enough. The Yankees offense that was doomed to stumble and fail has provided their pitching staff with enough hits, dingers, and comeback wins to have them in first place as we come to the end of the month. Considering how well Montero did when he was on the Yankees' major league roster in September of 2011, the greatest September of baseball ever, I really wonder if Kevin Long had anything to do with that and how well the Yankees are hitting currently. There's only so much Long can do though. Vernon Wells has been hitting the ball well, but scouts saw his swing improvement in Spring Training. I doubt Long could do anything with Ben Francisco besides pat him on the back to either tell him it's going to be alright or to help Ben burp. Perhaps he could still do something with someone like Montero though. Or perhaps Montero is just not that great at the major league level and that's why Cashman traded him. Time will tell. Questions: Do you think Kevin Long deserves more/less/no credit for the Yankees offense this season? If possible, would you like Jesus Montero back? Where would you like to go see a Baseball game that you've never been to before? Have you ever been to Disney World in Orlando and if not would you ever want to go? Besides the obvious choice of Yankee Stadium, if there ever was a PSB meet up what location would you choose? Since we have some newcomers around, a classic question: Drink/drinks of choice?

According to a tweet for Newsday’s Erik Boland, New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira may rehab with the Trenton Thunder at Arm & Hammer Park on Tuesday. The two-time Major League All-Star recently started swinging a bat again for the first time since March, when he injured his right wrist.  He’s participated in simulated games, and while his target date to return was believed to be in mid-June, that timetable seems to be accelerated if he plans on being ready by the time the Thunder return home in five days.
